IDEA: Internet Explorer Address Bar Search Utility

(1/3) > >>

Josh:
I am wondering how difficult it would be for someone to develop a tool that will allow you to create a custom "keyword search" that can be used in the internet explorer address bar similar to what is mentioned in this thread. With the advent of the RC of IE9, I find myself using it full time and actually enjoying internet explorer once more. This is really the only functionality I am missing.

Would this be difficult?

this has been available in Firefox for some time now.

Yes, but I refuse to install a mozilla beta out of sheer principle. They let firefox decline for so long (memory issues, slowdowns, sluggishness) that I have decided to halt usage until it is sped up. V4 beta is looking promising from the portable version I tried, but I will wait until it is final.

lanux128:
ah, i see.. however if you're on WinXP, TweakUI could used to add/edit/delete the search items.

I would use that in a second, Windows 7 here, however :(
